It looks like you experienced a transient network error that prevented
you from downloading =E2=80=98glibc-utf8-locales=E2=80=99.

> guix pull: error: You found a bug: the program

This message is confusing: it should report the networking issue above
rather than suggest there=E2=80=99s a bug.

I don=E2=80=99t think it=E2=80=99s necessary.  The main issue from my POV i=
s that the
error message is misleading since it fails to convey the useful piece of
information.

Thanks,
